I think that most of my cards have arrived at their destination by now, so I think it’s safe to unveil it. Plus I keep trying to shoot a video tutorial of how to tie a bow and the only time Bear is home to help me is well after dark when the lighting is so terrible you can’t tell that I have eyes, so this is all I’ve got for today.
The tutorial for this card is way back here. Long time readers may remember that I always make my cards in January and then pack them away with the Christmas decorations. This is seriously one of my best ideas ever. I get all the Christmas paper goods on sale, and then it’s one less thing to do when I’m racing around with more things to do in December than are possible.
I chose my favorite photos that best represented our lives, and then instead of a traditional newsletter, I just added a sentence on the bottom of each photo that explained the latest news.
I couldn’t get the kitties to hold still all together, but they still had to be represented somehow.
This is probably the best picture I’ve ever taken. I love how you can see his Physical Therapist “Miss Jan” all fuzzy in the background.
For our family photo we used the same photo as our Christmas tree topper. It’s very us. Whenever I pass my camera off to someone else I always tell them to get ‘action shots.’ I hate posed photos.
And there in the back is our Christmas greeting.
I keep forgetting to announce the prize winners! Congratulations to Leigh and Nicole who won the snowflake, and the polymer clay ornaments respectively. Your presents went out in the mail last week, hope you enjoy them!
